Now this I agree with. Bungie has a dumb design decision, we are complain, then Bungie throws us a common sense bone, and we rejoice and sing their praises. I was operating under the assumption that this change wasn't meant to address vault space, since it doesn't really give us any additional space at all. It just makes it less necessary to need duplicates (though we never NEEDED dupes).

Hahaha oh don't worry yourself. we'll be back to bitch incessantly in short order. probably there will be a tweet with some apocalyptic news tomorrow, or xur brings dragon's breath and voidfang.
I'm gonna go out on a limb, and I know this might cut you deep, but I don't think the "shoot people through infinite surfaces in PvP" aspect of the perk was ever intended
I don't want to belabor this point too much, because I'm much more interested in what you'd prefer. But.. this particular point is exactly the same when doing this in-game. You can't deposit equipped items into the vault.
I really am interested in what your ideal in-game solution to the problem we're talking about would be, if you have the desire to talk about it.

For a heavily requested feature yes you are.
It is the ONlY way to do it. A secondary app.
Ubisoft did it for damn chests and got shat on and then removed the requirement. It's not a popular thing.
It is the same here. Except it is because Bungie is unimpressive at supporting a game like this and not greed. Band aid while we wait for something in game and better.

Does anyone else have the issue in which they can not transfer 4th Horseman? It does not even show it in my inventory on Bungie Net

I'm just posting as I try to use it for the first time. We can talk about that at another time. I'll stop posting for now since my opinion is against the tide.
How do relative newbies (i.e level 7) get involved with other GAFers? All you guys seem to be level 30 according to the posts
This is a good question, and one that deserves to be addressed. I don't have any under 30 characters, but I'm happy to help out if I'm not doing something else. I'm RetroMG if you are on PSN. I'm usually around during the day.
Would it be feasible to set up some kind of "under 30 club" to help out new D-Gaffers?

Play with people who are on their alt characters or just doing Crucible and then when you're high level, do the endgame content

The sad thing is, the only reason I have duplicate Icebreaker, Fatebringer, and VoCs is so that I can free up space in the vault. I use duplicates not because I'm too lazy to switch and go to the tower, I use duplicates so that I can have more vault space.
Think about it though, if you literally have one of each exotic and one of each VoG and CE weapon, you can not fit all of your weapons in your vault. I think it's reasonable to expect that most people aim to have one of each, at the very least, and they aren't even accounting for that?

Level up to 20. Buy some vanguard or crucible legendary gear in the tower. Possibly pick up an exotic helm from Xur if you can. Grind your guardian to level 28-31 and then start doing the weekly loot activities with the rest of us.
Why would you use an Atheon's during HM Crota??

Well, first off, be sure to add as many of us to your friends list as possible.
Second, unfortunately, you need to level up more before you can do most of the stuff with us - weeklies, nightfall, VoG, Crota, daily missions, etc.
Third, fortunately, you can PvP with us, as it is all equalized. It's not truly equal, as you won't have all of your perks unlocked, but it's equal enough that a level 7 could easily lead the team in kills.

Nothing wrong with a dissenting opinion, we are all just curious on more details of why you don't like it since that doesn't make sense to us. Really liking the update, 2nd screen and all.

I'm sure. lol
Yeah I am a bit curious as to what alternative solution would be ideal.
this would have been great if it attacked you as you started taunting it lol

Lack of a native iPad app is annoying as fuck now. Ugh.
It's been a longgggg time since the app released.

Wait- one of each of those weapons, just sitting in the the vault? Why wouldn't any of them be on your characters?
I agree with the implied point of those above however, I don't feel that this feature addition is at all aimed at "freeing up vault space"; it's a solution to the inconvenience of transferring items between characters.
Man so much from yesterday to catch up on since I didn't even log in. Fuck yes to vault management on the app, and I can choose quantity?! I always wondered why I couldn't just fucking put half a stack of heavy in the vault for my alt instead of transferring the whole stack. Looks like I will be running the Nightfalls and Weeklys with Oversoul and Swordbreaker lol, tonight should be fun times!
Gotta disagree here. There are many of us who wanted this very exact thing. It sounds like you want them to just do away with the vault system altogether and just give all three characters a giant shared pool of inventory space that is accessible at any time, any where. That's not going to happen. What's funny is that so many people (like myself) wanted them to make our vault accessible on our ship, rather than needing to go down to the tower, and what they ultimately gave us is an even better solution!
At the same time, can't disagree with the fact that we have basically no new content at all since TBD. That's inexcusable, but that's a completely different topic
I'm kind of in the middle on it. I love this update and think that's it's really a step in the right direction but, I don't think that a singular shared vault system that can be accessed at any time on any character is impossible or out of the question. It's good to see that Bungie is trying new things with the vault though, and it definitely bodes well for Comet & Destiny 2.

Solution #1
Inventory screen has a Gear tab that has all 3 characters and the vault in one tab and interchangeable by going left and right using the analogue stick and then X/A to enter a UI to transfer items just like with this.
Multiple pages that can be cycled up and down with the analog stick for vault pages for armour, weapons etc

Yup, the additional utility of using your toons for additional storage was just a derivative bonus of the primary feature of Vault Management.
I expect a page solution like the Friends list.

Even though I love this for what I can do while at work, I'll play a bit of devils advocate on this one.
By the time I get home, my phone is dead, the computer is in the other room, and my wife is using the tablet to watch movies while I'm playing Destiny. Now I won't have access to this system, and it's possible that my teammates will have less patience for me wasting time with a tower run, expecting me to use this second screen option.
It's a great option, but there should be an in game alternative to this gear switching system that doesn't require multiple trips to a Tower that can take forever to sync due to it being an instance with up to 16 players.

this is ideal
along with a page for shaders and inventory items
but ill take this for now.. especially since i wasn't expecting it at all
There's no way it's impossible- aspects would be a coding challenge for sure, but the vault is already shared, it's just confined to one in-game access point. So, in theory, just adding an extra screen to the menu that showed your vault, with the additional requisite UI work to be able to deposit to it from within your menu ("hold Triangle for Deposit over an unequipped item in your inventory").
But stick with me here... because even this, what I see as sort of the "ultimate convenience version" of the current Vault- well beyond the access from Orbit that had been requested- that still wouldn't enable you to transfer items from your other characters to the one you were currently playing from the same interface.
Have you tried accessing Bungie.net via the ps4 browser?

The gaming seat on the couch is kind of in the middle of the room. I could run an extension, but eventually someone would trip over it.
lol...I haven't, but I will tonight. Can Destiny run in the background while it's open?

That would be a great solution. Would be a lot of work to develop something like that. Probably not likely we get something that feature rich. At this point, I think the best we get is a Vault tab in the UI to transfer stuff with your active character.

I really like the Destiny companion app and will be using it a lot in the future. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned the Destiny Timers iOS app that constantly updates with all the upcoming Special Events with a location and approximate time. This is incredibly useful. I love all these second screen apps.
